In a recent interview with VGC, Ghost of Yōtei co-director Jason Connell revealed that the game will have a similar playtime to Ghost of Tsushima, while maintaining its “story structure”. Ghost of Tsushima notably takes an average of 25 hours to beat. According to Connell, “you’re going to have a beginning, middle, and an end, so while Atsu’s journey is to hunt down the Yōtei Six, by no means are we going to let you go and kill all six with no story structure.” Additionally, co-director Nate Fox confirmed Ghost of Tsushima’s protagonist Jin Sakai won’t be featured in Ghost of Yōtei in any way. “While we really love Jin Sakai and his story of letting go of his honor to become the ghost, we wanted to let players experience this new version of what it is to be a ghost in Feudal Japan,” he said. Ghost of Yotei will launch on October 2 for PlayStation 5.
The game’s details:
Become a different kind of ghost and witness a bold new story set against the stunning backdrop of northern Japan’s rugged landscapes.
Taking place 300 years after the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, this standalone experience follows a haunted, lone mercenary named Atsu in the 1600s. Thirsty for revenge, she sets out to hunt down those who killed her family many years prior.
Her quest across Ezo will take her to unexplored lands as she seeks out a gang of six outlaws. Along the way, she’ll encounter far more than she could have wagered for at the journey’s outset. Help her find unlikely allies, forge lasting bonds and build a path towards healing and redemption.
